SUMMER '68 Would you like to say something Before you leave Perhaps you'd care to state exactly How you feel We say goodbye before we've said hello I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all We met just six hours ago, The music was too loud From your bed I came today And lost a bloody year And I would like to know, how do you feel How do you feel Not a single word we've said, The lights stay without fears Occasionally you showed a smile But what was the need I felt the cold far too soon In the world of ninety-five My friends they're in the sun, I wish that I was there Tomorrow brings another town, Another girl like you Have you time before you leave To greet another man Just to let me know, how do you feel How do you feel Goodbye to you Shall it bring girls due I had a love for one day FAT OLD SUN When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer-evening birds are calling Summer sun do you travel yet The sound of music in my ears Distant bells, new grown grass smells so sweet By the river holding hands You're old enough and lay me down And if you see, don't make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange Sing to me, sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer-evening birds are calling Children's laughter in my ears And then the sunlight disappears. ANIMALS - 1977 PIGS ON THE WING (Part One) If you didn't care what happened to me, And I didn't care for you, We would zig zag our way Through the boredom and pain, Occasionally glancing up through the rain, Wondering which of the buggers to blame And watching for pigs on the wing. DOGS You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need You gotta sleep on your toes, And when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out The easy meat with your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, Down wind and out of sight You gotta strike when the moment is right Without thinking. And after a while, You can work on points for style Like the club tie,and the firm handshake, A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted By the people that you lie to, So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye Looking over you shoulder. You know it's going to get harder, And harder and harder as you get older. And in the end you'll pack up And fly down south, Hide your head in the sand, Just another sad old man, All alone and dying of cancer. And when you loose control, You'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, The bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to loose the weight You used to need to throw around. So have a good drown, As you go down, all alone, Dragged down by the Stone. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. Sometimes it seems to me As if I'm just being used. Gotta stay awake,gotta try And shake off this creeping malaise. If I don't stand my own ground, How can I find my own way out of this maze ? Deaf, dumb and blind, You just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable And no one has a real friend. And it seems to you the thing to do Would be to isolate the winner. And everything's done under the sun, And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer Who was born in a house full of pain. Who was trained not to spit in the fan. Who was told what to do by the man. Who was broken by trained personnel. Who was fitted with collar and chain. Who was given a path on the back. Who was breaking away from the pack. Who was only a stranger at home. Who was ground down in the end. Who was found dead on the phone. Who was dragged down by the stone. PIGS ON THE WING ( three different ones ) Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, Ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, You're nearly a good laugh, Almost a joker, With your head down in the pig bin Saying, "keep on digging." Pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find ? When you're down in the pig mine You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh, But you're really a cry. ----------------- Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are. You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are You radiate cold shafts of broken glass. You're nearly a good laugh, Almost worth a quick grin You like the feel of steel, You're hot stuff with a hat pin, And good fun with a hand gun. You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh, But you're really a cry. ----------------- Hey you Whitehouse, Ha ha charade you are You house proud town mouse, Ha ha charade you are You're trying to keep our feelings off the street You're nearly a real treat, All tight lips and cold feet, And do you feel abused ? ......! ......! ......! You gotta stem the evil tide, And keep it all on the inside. Mary you're nearly a treat, Mary you're nearly a treat But you're really a cry. SHEEP Harmlessly passing your time In the grassland away, Only dimly aware of a certain Unease in the air. You better watch out, There may be dogs about I've looked over Jordan,and I have seen, Things are not what they seem. What do you get for pretending The dangers not real. Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors, Into the valley of steel. What a surprise ! A look of terminal shock in your eyes. Now things are really what they seem, No, this is not bad dream. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. I SHALL NOT WANT HE MAKES ME DOWN TO LIE THOUGH PASTURES GREEN HE LEADETH ME THE SILENT WATERS BY WITH BRIGHT KNIVES HE RELEASETH MY SOUL HE MAKETH ME TO HANG ON HOOKS IN HIGH PLACES. HE CONVERTETH ME TO LAMB CUTLETS. FOR LO, HE HATH GREAT POWER, AND GREAT HUNGER. WHEN COMETH THE DAY WE LOWLY ONES THROUGH QUIET REFLECTION, AND GREAT DEDICATION, MASTER THE ART OF KARATE. LO, WE SHALL RISE UP, AND THEN WE'LL MAKE THE BUGGERS' EYES WATER. Bleating and babbling i fell on his neck with a scream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity Into the dream. Have you heard the news ? The dogs are dead ! You better stay home And do as you're told. Get out of the road if you want to grow old. PIGS ON THE WING (part two) You know that I care what happens to you, And I know that you care for me, too So I don't feel alone. Or the weight of the stone, Now that I've found somewhere safe To bury my bone. And any fool knows a Dog need a home, A shelter from pigs on the wing. THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - 1973 1.

Eclipse (Waters) BREATHE Breathe,breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave but don't leave me Look around and choose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run rabbit run Dig that hole,forget the sun, And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to start another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race toward an early grave. TIME Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run,you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,but it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in the relative way,but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every years is getting shorter ,never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone the song is over,thought I'd something more to say Breathe reprise Home,home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells MONEY Money,get away Get a good job with more pay and your O.K. Money it's a gas Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash New car,caviar,four star day dream Think I'll buy me a football team Money get back I'm all right Jack keep your hands of my stack. Money it's a hit Don't give me that do goody good bullshit I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set And I think I need a lear jet Money it's a crime Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie Money so they say Is the root of all evil today But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away US AND THEM Us,and them And after all we're only ordinary men Me,and you God only knows it's not what we would choose to do Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died And the general set and the lines on the map moved from side to side Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who Up and down And in the end it's only round and round and round Haven't you heard it's a battle of words the poster bearer cried Listen son,said the man with the gun There's room for you inside Down and Out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about With,without And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about Out of the way,it's a busy day I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died BRAIN DAMAGE The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade,you make the change You re-arrange me till I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts,thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon Eclipse All that you touch All that you see All that you taste All you feel All that you love All that you hate All you distrust All you save All that you give All that you deal All that you buy Beg,borrow or steal All you create All you destroy All that you do All that you say All that you eat Everyone you meet All that you slight Everyone you fight All that is now All that is gone All that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Was it for you? Was it me? Did I watch too much T.V.? Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes? If it wasn't for the nips Being so good at building ships The yards would still be open on the clyde And it can't be much fun for them Beneath the rising sun With all their kidds committing suicide What have we done Maggie what have we done What have we done to England Should we shout should we scream "What happened to the post war dream?" Oh Maggie Maggie what have we done? Your Possible Pasts They flutter behind you your possible pasts Some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost A warning to anyone still in command Of their possible future to take care In derelict sidings the poppies entwine With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time Do you remember me? How we used to be? Do you think we should be closer? She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs Stepping up boldly one put out his hand He said,"I was just a child then now I'm only a man" Do you remember me? How we used to be? Do you think we should be closer? By the cold and religious we were taken in hand Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay And strung out behind us the banners and flags Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags Do you remember me? How we used to be? Do you think we should be closer? One Of The Few When you're one of the Few to land on your feet What do you do to make ends meet? Teach Make them mad,make them sad,make them add two and two Make them me,make them you,make them do what you want them to Make them laugh,make them cry,make them lie down and die The Hero's Return Jesus Jesus what's it all about Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape When I was their age all the lights went out There was no time to whine and mope about And even now part of me flies over Dresden at angels one five Though they'll never fathom in behind my Sarcasm desperate memories lie Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep,good 'cos that's the only time that I can really talk to you And there is something that I've locked away A memory that is too painful To withstand the light of day When we came back from the war the banners and Flags hung on everyones door We danced and we sang in the street and The church bells rang But burning in my heart My memory smoulders on Of the gunners dying words on the intercome The Gunners Dream Floating down through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now In the space between the heavens And in the corner of some foreign field I had a dream I had a dream Goodbye Max Goodbye Ma After the service when you're walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream A place to stay Enough to eat Somewhere old heros shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniaks don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no one kills the children anymore And no one kills the children anymore Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight Whats done is done We cannot just write off his final scene Take heed of his dream Take heed Paranoid Eyes Button your lip don't let the shield slip Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions You can hide hide hide Behind paranoid eyes You put on your brave face and slip over the road for a jar Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar Laughing too loud at the rest of the world With the boys in the crowd You hide hide hide Behind petrified eyes You believed in their stories of fame fortune and glory Now you're lost in a haze of alchohol soft middle age The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high And you hide hide hide Behind brown and mild eyes. Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert. Brezhnev took Afganistan Begin took Beirut Galtieri took The Union Jack And Maggie over lunch one day Took a cruiser with all hands Apparently to make him give it back The Fletcher Memorial home Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere And build them a home a little place of their own The Fletcher Memorial Home for incurable tyrants and kings And they can appear to themselves every day On closed circuit T.V. To make sure they're still real It's the only connection they feel "Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Reagan and Haig Mr.Begin and friends mrs.Thatcher and Paisley Mr.Brezhnev and party The ghost of McCarthy The memories of Nixon And now adding colour a group of anonymoume Latin- American meat packing glitterati" Did they expect us to treat them with any respect They can polish their medals and sharpen their Smiles,and amuse themselves playing games for a while Boom boom,bang bang,lie down you're dead Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye With their favourite toys They'll be good girls and boys In the Fletcher Memorial home for colonial Wasters of life and limb Is everyone in? Are you having a nice time? Now the final solution can be applied Southampton Dock They disembarked in 45 And no-one spoke and no-one smiled There were too many spaces in the line Gathered at the cenotaph All agreed with the hand on heart To sheath the sacrificial knifes But now She stands upon southampton dock With her handkerchief And her summer frock clings To her wet body in the rain In quiet desperation knuckles White upon the slippery reins She bravely waves the boys goodbye again And still the dark stain spreads between His shoulder blades A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves And when the fight was over We spent what they had made But in the botton of our hearts We felt the final cut The Final Cut Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes I can barely define the shape of this moment in time And far from flying high in clear blue skies I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide If you negotiate the minefield in the drive And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall Dial the combination open the priesthole And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall There's a kid who had a big hallucination Making love to girls in magazines He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith Could anybody love him Or is it just a crazy dream And if I show you my dark side Will you still hold me tonight And if I open my heart to you And show you my weak side What would you do Would you sell your story to rolling stone Would you take the children away And leave me alone And smile in reassurance As you whisper down the phone Would you send me packing Or would you take me home Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings Thought I oughta tear the curtain down I held the blade in trembling hands Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang I never had the nerve to make the final cut Not Now John Fuck all that we've got to get on with these Got to compete with the wily japanese There's too many home fires burning And not enough trees So fuck all that We've got to get on with these Cant stop lose job mind gone silicon What bomb get away pay day make hay Break down need fix big six Clickity click hold on oh no brrrrrrrrrring bingo!

Two Suns In The Sunset In my rear view mirror the sun is going down Sinking behind bridges in the road And I think of all the good things That we have left undone And I suffer premonitions Confirm suspicions Of the holocaust to come The wire that holds the cork That keeps the anger in Gives way And suddenly it's day again The sun is in the east Even though the day is done Two suns in the sunset Hmmmmmmmmm Could be the human race is run Like the moment when the brakes lock And you slide towards the big truck You stretch the frozen moments with your fear And you'll never hear their voices And you'll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore And as the wind shield melts My tears evaporate Leaving only charcoal to defend Finally I understand The feelings of the Few Ashes and diamonds Foe and friend We were all equal in the end For Erik Fletcher Waters 1913-1944.

Echoes ONE OF THESE DAYS One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces A PILLOW OF WINDS The cloud of eiderdown draws around me Softening the sound Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side And she's breathing low, and the candle dies When night comes down you lock the door The look falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by The seasons changed, the wind is warm Now wakes the owl, now sleep the swan Behold the dream, the dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain Is falling in a golden glow And deep beneath the ground The early morning sounds And I go down Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side And she's breathing low, and I rise like a bird In the haze when the first rays touch the sky And the night wings die FEARLESS You say the hill's too steep to climb, try it You say you'd like to see me try climb it You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait a while for the right day And as I rise above the tree-line And the clouds I look down, hearing the sounds Of the things you've said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Mercyless the magistrate turns round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown Go down in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines In his crown You look down, hearing the sound Of the faces in the crowd You never walk alone, you never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you never walk alone, you never walk alone SAN TROPEZ As I reach for a peach, slide a ride Down behind a chauffeur in San Tropez Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand Riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness Scratched by the sand that fell from my love Keeping my dreams and I still hear her calling If you're alone, I'll come home Backward and homebound, a pigeon, a dove Gone with the wind, the rain on an aeroplane Owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together Speeding away on the wind to a new day If you're alone, I'll come home And I pause for a while by a country style And listen to the things they say Digging the gold in a hole in my hand Hoping the good, take a look At the way things end And you're leading me down To a place by the sea I hear your soft voice calling to me Making a date for Rita Pavone If you're alone, I'll come home SEAMUS I was in the kitchen Seamus, that's the dog, was outside Well I was in the kitchen Seamus, my own hound, was outside Well you know the sun was sinking slowly And my own hound-dog sat right down and cried ECHOES Overhead the albatross hangs Motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes billowing across the sand And everything is green, the sun beneath And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's of the why's But something stares and something tries And starts to climb towards the land Strangers passing in the street By chance to separate closes meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to the dawn And no one forces down our eyes And no one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and insighting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And crawl to you across the sky M O R E - 1 9 6 9 1.

CRYING SONG We smile and smile Laughter echoes in your eyes We climb and climb Fruit falls softly in the pines We cry and cry Sadness passess in a while We roll and roll Help me roll away the stone GREEN IS THE COLOUR Heavy hung the canopy of blue Shade my eyes and I can see you White is the light that shines Through the dress that you wore She lay in the shadow of a wave Hazy were the visions overplayed Sunlight in her eyes, But moonshine made her cry every time Green is the colour of her kind Quickness of the eye deceives the mind Envy is the bond between The hopeful and the damned CYMBALINE The path you tread is narrow And the trumpets sheer and very high The ravens all are watching From a vantage point nearby Apprehension creeping like a tube Train up your spine Will the tight rope reach the end, Will the final couplet rhyme And it's high time, Cymbaline Please wake me A butterfly with broken wings Is falling by your side The ravens all are closing in, There's nowhere you can hide Your manager and agent Are both busy on the phone Selling coloured photographs To magazines back home And it's high time, Cymbaline Please wake me The lions converging where you stand, They must have moved the picture plain The leaves are heavy 'round your feet, You hear the thunder of the train Suddenly it strikes you That they're moving into range And Doctor Strange is always changing size And it's high time, Cymbaline Please wake me IBIZA BAR I'm so afraid of the mistakes that I made Making every time that I lay I feel like an oddball with a cut-off mind So if you excuse me it's time When the count is rhymed And the story-line is fine I've been amazed since the first day I can't get a line too close Take me down, take me down From the cell of my mind And hear me slowly floating lonely somwhere I live far enough on a shelf like a dress On the end of all that reads like a sad song Leaves began to grow beautiful And years they began And hear me slowly floating lonely Flowing down too slow OBSCURED BY CLOUDS - 1972 1.

Come on my friend, let's make for the hills They say there's gold And I'm looking for thrills You can get your hands on whatever we find 'cause I've only come along for the ride Well you go your way and I'll go mine I don't care if we get there on time Everybody's searching for something, they say I'll get my kicks on the way Over the mountains, across the sea Who knows what may be waiting for me I could sail forever to strange sounding names Faces of people and places don't change All I have to do is just close my eyes To see the seagulls Wheeling in the far distant skies All I wanna tell you, all I wanna say Is count me in on the journey, Don't expect me to stay WOT'S... UH THE DEAL Heaven sent the promised land Looks alright from where I stand 'cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Waiting on the first step Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line 'cause it's time To let me in from the cold, Turn my lead into gold 'cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul And I think I'm growing old Flash... the red is... wot's uh deal Got to make it to the next meal Try keep up with the turning of the wheel Mile after mile, stone after stone You turn to speak but you're alone Million miles from home you're on your own Fly kite by candle light With her by my side Wish she prefers we never stir again Someone sent the promised land Well I grabbed it with both hands Now I'm the man of the inside looking out Hear me shout, come on in What's the news, where you've been 'cause there's no wind left in my soul And I've grown old CHILDHOOD'S END You shout in your sleep That's the price, it's just too steep Is your conscience at rest It was put to the test You awake with a start Just the beating of your heart Just one man beneath the sky Just two ears, just two eyes You said, sail across the sea Long past thoughts and memories Childhood's end: your fantasies Merging harsh realities And then as the sail is hoist You'll find your eyes are growing moist And all the fears never voiced Say you have to make the final choice Who are you and who am I To say we know the reason why Some are born, some men die Beneath one infinite sky There'll be war and there'll be peace But anything one day will cease All the iron turn to rust All the proud men turn to dust So all things time will mend So this song will end FREE FOUR One two three four The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room And talk to yourself as you die Life is a short warm moment And death is a long cold rest You get your chance to try The twinkling of an eye Eighty years with luck or even less So all aboard for the American tour And maybe you'll make it to the top But mind how you go, And I can tell you 'cause I know You may find it hard to get off But you are the angel of death And I am the dead man's son He was buried like a mole in a fox-hole And everyone's still on the run And who is the master of foxhounds And who says the hunt is begun And who calls the tune in the court-room And who beats the funeral drum STAY Stay and help me to end the day And if you don't mind, We'll break a bottle of wine Stick around and maybe we'll get one down 'cause I want to find what lies Behind those eyes Midnight blue, burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold I rise, looking through my morning eyes Surprised to find you by my side Light my brain, don't try to remember your name To find the words to tell you goodbye Morning dews, newborn day Midnight blue turned to grey Midnight blue, burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold.

GOODBYE BLUE SKY Ooooooooooooooooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs Did you ever wonder Why we had to run for shelter When they promise of a brave new world Unfound beheath a clear blue sky. Ooooooooooooooooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long-gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye. EMPTY SPASES What shall we use to fill the empty Spaces where we used to talk How shall I fill the final places How shall I complete the wall. YOUNG LUST I'm just a new boy A stranger in this town Where are all the good times Who's gonna show this stranger around? Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl. Will some cold woman in this desert land Make me feel like a real man Take this rock and roll refugee Oooh baby set me free Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl. ONE OF MY TURNS Day after day love turns grey Like the skin of a dying man Night after night we pretend it's all right But I have grown older and You have grown colder And nothing is very much fun any more. And I can feel one of my turns coming on I feel, cold as a razor blade Tight as a tourniquet Dry as a funeral drum, Run to bedroom, in the suitcase on the left You'll find my favourite axe Don't look so frightened This is just a passing phase Just one of my bad days. Would you like to watch TV? Or get between the sheets? Or contemplate the silent freeway? Would you like something to eat? Would you like to learn to fly? Would you like to see me try? Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Why are you running away? DON'T LEAVE ME NOW Ooooh Babe Don't leave me now Don't say it's the end of the road Remember the flowers I sent I need you, Babe, To put through the shredder In front of my friends Ooooh Babe Don't leave me now How could you go? When you know how I need you. To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night Ooooh Babe Don't leave me now How can you treat me this way Running away I need you, Babe, Why are you running away? Ooooooh Babe! ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ( part 3 ) I don't need no arms around me I don't need no drugs to calm me I have seen the writing on the wall Don't think I need anything at all No don't think I'll need anything at all All in all it was all just bricks in the wall All in all you were all just bricks in the wall. GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD Goodbye cruel world I'm leaving you today Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye. Goodbye all you people There's nothing you can say To make me change My mind, Goodbye. HEY YOU Hey you! out there in the cold Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you! standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me? Hey you! don't help them to to bury the light Don't give in without a fight! Hey you! out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you! with your ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me? Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone Open you heart, I'm coming home. But it was only fantasy The wall was too high, as you can see No matter how he tried he could not break free And the worms ate into his brain. Hey you! Out there on the road Always doing what you're told, can you help me. Hey you! Out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me. Hey you! Don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall. ID THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE ? Is there anybody out there? NOBODY HOME I've got a little black book with my poems in I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hand blues. Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from I've got electric light And I've got second sight I've got amazing powers of observation And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home. I've got obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite satin shirt I've got nicotine stains on my fingers I've got a silver spoon on the chain I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains I've got wild staring eyes I've got a strong urge to fly But I've got nowhere to fly to Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone There's still nobody home. I've got a pair of Gohills boots And I've got fading roots. VERA Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn. Remember how she said that We would meet again some sunny day. Vera! Vera! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do? BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME Bring the boys back home Bring the boys back home Don't leave the children on their own Bring the boys back home COMFORTABLY NUMB Hello, Is there anybody in there Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home Come on now, I hear you are feeling down I can ease your pain And get you on your feet again Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts. There is no pain you are receiding A distant ship smoke on the horison You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two baloons Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. O.K. Just a little pin prick There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going though the show Come on it's time to go. There is no pain you are receiding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child has grown The dream is gone And I have become Comfortably numb. THE SHOW MUST GO ON Oooh ma Oooh pa Does the show must to go on Oooh Pa take me home Oooh Ma let me go Do I have to stand up Wild eyed in the spotlight What a nightmare. Why! Don't I turn and run There must be some mistake I didn't mean to let them Take away my soul. Am I too old is it too late Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Where has the feeling gone? Oooh Ma Oooh Pa Will I remember the songs? The show must go on! IN THE FLESH So ya Thought ya Might like to Go to the show. To feel the warm thrill of confusion That space cadet glow. I've got some bad news for you sunshine Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel And they sent us along as a surrogate, band And we're going to find out where your fans Really stand Are there any queers in the theatre tonight Get 'em up against the wall. There's on in the spotlight He don't look right to me Get him up against the wall That one looks Jewish And that one's a coon Who let all this riff-raff into the room There's one smoking a joint and Another with spots If I had my way I'd have all of you shot. RUN LIKE HELL You better run like hell You better make your face up on Your favorite disguise With your button down lips and your Roller blind eyes With your empty smile And your hungry heart Feel the bite rising from your guilty past With your nerves in tatters When the cockleshell shatters And hammers butter Down the door. You better run like hell You better run all day And run all night And keep your dirty feelings Deep inside. And if you Take your girlfriend Out tonight, You better park the car Well out of sight. 'Cos if they catch you in the back seat Trying to pick her looks They're gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box You better run. WAITING FOR THE WORMS Ooooh, You cannot reach me now Ooooh no matter now you try Goodbye cruel world it's over Walk on by. Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall Waiting for the worms to come. In perfect isolation here behind my wall Waiting for the worms to come. Waiting to cut out the deadwood Waiting to clean up the city Waiting to follow the worms. Waiting to put on a blackshirt Waiting to weed out the weaklings Waiting to smash in their windows And kick in their doors. Waiting for the final solution To strang then the strain Waiting to follow the worms. Waiting to turn on the showers And fire the ovens Waiting for the queens and the coons And the Reds and the Jews Waiting to follow the worms. Would you like to see Britannia Rule again my friend All you have to do is follow the worms Would you like to send our coloured cousins Home again, my friend, All you need to do is follow the worms. STOP Stop. I wanna go home Take off this uniform And leave the show. And I'm waiting in this cell Because I have to know Have I been guilty all this time. THE TRIAL Good morning worm you honour The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings, Showing feelings of an almost human nature Shame on him. This will not do. Call the shcoolmaster I always said he'd come to no good In the end your honour If they'd let me have my way I could Have flayed him into shape. But my hands were tied The bleeding hearts and artists Let him get away with murder Let me hammer him today. Crazy toys in the attic I'm crazy They must have taken my marbles away. Call the defendans wife. You little shit, you're in it now I hope they throw away the key You should have talked to me more often Than you did, but no you had to Go your own way. Have you broken any Homes up lately? "Just five minutes worm your honour Him and me alone!" Babe! Come to mother baby let me hold you In my arms But I never wanted him to Get in any trouble Why'd he ever have to leave me Worm your honour let me take him home. Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy There must have been a door in the wall when I came in Crazy over the rainbow he's crazy The evidence before the court is Incontravertible, there's no need for The jury to retire In all my years of judging I have never heard before of Some one more deserving The full penalty of law. The way you made them suffer You exquisite wife and mother Fills me with the vage to defecate. But my friend you have revealed your Deepest fear I sentence you to be exposed before Your peers Tear down the wall! OUTSIDE THE WALL All alone, or in twos The ones who really love you Walk up and down outside the wall. Some hand in hand Some gathering together in bands The bleeding hearts and the artists Make their stand. And when they're given you their all Some stagger and fall after all it's not easy Banging your heart against some mad buggers Wall.

Shine On Your Crazy Diamond (Part 1) 2. Welcome to the Mashine 3. Have a Cigar 4. Wish You Were Here 5. Shine On Your Crazy Diamond (Part 2) SHINE ON YOUR CRAZY DIAMOND part 1 Remember when you were young You shone like the Sun Shine on, you crazy diamond ! Now there's a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky Shine on, you crazy diamond ! You were caught on the cross fire Of childhood and stardom Blown on the steel breeze Come on, you target for faraway laughter Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine ! You reached for the secret too soon You cried for the Moon. Shine on, you crazy diamond ! Threatened by shadows at night And exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond ! Well you wore out you welcome With random precision Rode on the steel breeze Come on, you raver, you seer of visions Come on, you painter,you piper, you prisoner And shine ! WELCOME TO THE MASHINE Welcome, my son, welcome to the machine Where have you been ? It's alright we know where you've been. You've been in the pipeline, filling in time Provided with toys And "Scouting for Boys" You bought a guitar to punish your ma. And you didn't like school And you know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine. Welcome my son, welcome to the machine What did you dream ? It's alright we told you what to dream. You dreamed of a big star He played mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the Machine HAVE A SIGAR Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar You're gonna go far, You're gonna fly high, you're never gonna die, You're gonna make it if you try I gonna love you Well I've alvays had a deep respect And I mean that most sincerely The band is just fantastic, That is really what I think Oh by the way which one's Pink ? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy We call it Riding the Gravy Train We're just knocked out We heard about the sell out You gotta get an album out You owe it to the people We're so happy we can hardly count ! Everybody else is just green, Have you seen the chart ? It's a helluva start, It could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team And did we tell you the name of the game, boy We call it Riding the Gravy Train WISH YOU WERE HERE So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell blue skies from Pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail ? A smile from a veil ? Do you think you can tell And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts ? Hot ashes for trees ? Hot air for a cool breeze ? Cold comfort for change ? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found ? The same old fears Wish you were here SHINE ON YOUR CRAZY DIAMOMD part 2 Nobody knows where you are How near or how far Shine on, you crazy diamond ! Pile on many more layers And I'll be joining you there Shine on, you crazy diamond ! And we'll bask in the shadow Of yesterday's triumph And sail on the steel breeze Come on you boy child, you winner and loser Come on you miner for truth and delusion And shine ! |
